What are the key networking capabilities of the Catalyst 3750 Series switches covered by this contract?
The Catalyst 3750 Series switches feature Layer 2-4 switching with dynamic IP routing and IPv6 support, up to 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports plus 4 SFP ports, integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) supporting up to 48 ports at 7.3W, and Cisco StackWise technology enabling up to nine switches to operate as a single 32-Gbps switching unit. These enterprise-grade capabilities make the 3750 ideal for mid-to-large network deployments requiring high availability and resilience.
Can the Catalyst 3750 switches be stacked together, and what are the benefits?
Yes, the Catalyst 3750 Series uses Cisco StackWise technology to allow up to nine switches to stack into a unified, highly resilient system with a single IP address and command-line interface for simplified management. The 32-Gbps interconnect between stacked units provides fast convergence and redundant architecture, ensuring sub-100-millisecond failover through features like 802.1S/W standards-based fault tolerance and Flexlink technology.
What security and access control features are available on the Catalyst 3750?
The Catalyst 3750 supports comprehensive security including port security with MAC address locking, RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication, ACLs supporting up to 1,024 rules with source/destination filtering, DoS prevention, storm control for broadcast/multicast traffic, and multiple user privilege levels in the CLI. These features enable granular control over network access and protection against common attack vectors in enterprise environments.
How does the Catalyst 3750 handle Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic prioritization?
The Catalyst 3750 provides advanced QoS with 8 hardware queues, strict priority and Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) scheduling options, and class-of-service capabilities based on port, 802.1p VLAN priority, IPv4/v6 IP precedence, or DSCP markings. This allows you to prioritize business-critical traffic and ensure consistent application performance across your network.
